[ANGLÈS] The purpose of this Final Project is to justify the knowledge that I have acquired during the
different periods of my career. It conveys the expertise and education obtained during my
Degree in Technical Architecture, its development during a post degree in Science and
Technology Edification and also an ulterior real-scale project in which I took part as a
member of both the university's management team and an architectural firm's team.
The aim is to expose all the improvements and editings needed during the phases of
projection and construction of a specific building. This building in particular has previously
been erected following the standards of a distinct type of construction. Due to a change of
property, work has been discontinued with only the foundations put together. At this point
a new project manager and a new director took over the project. Not only did they
increase of the size of the building but also they did change the structure system and the
interior's layout from the original project.
The construction plan is for a four storey semi-detached building with ground floor. The
ground floor consists in an empty room with no stablished purpose. The above four
storeys are meant to be 6 apartments. Despite the fact of the reduced size of these
apartments they are all under the current housing regulation. The building will also have a
walking rooftop where the necessary installations will put into place.
The methodology followed to carry out what I define as “Project of amendment and
extension of a multifamily building located in Manresa's old town” will follow several format
guidelines with two distinguished parts. First part concerns the academic work and the
second part concerns he working project.
From the field data base obtained from the foundations we will determine a new type of
structure and architecture for the building.
We will calculate the strength of the new structure using the program SAP 2000. The
program will create a three dimensional model where will be able to add the architectural
model of the existent foundation. We will also get dimensions of the structural sections
using the Prontuari informàtic de la EHE.
In relation to the general installations (pipelines, drainage, solar panels...) we will follow
the legislation stablished prior to the application of the Technical Building Code. This is
due to the request of the building permit which is prior to the start of its application.
Therefore, we find ourselves in-between periods where the only necessary request is the
fulfilment of the solar energy's bylaw.
We will explain the constructive systems used and finally, we will expose the reasons why
we have made such changes. These changes will result in the creation of a building with
an unusual living space for the use of mobile partition walls.
Once the project is finished we can conclude that with a change in the materials, a
minimum space to live in and the integration of unconventional techniques of distribution
we can achieve to lower the cost of the construction and also increase both well-being
and the profitability of small spaces. |
